Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 very ripe banana
  • 2 eggs
  • ⅓ cup all purpose or whole wheat flour
  • 1 pinch kosher salt (optional)
  • Butter or oil, for greasing the skillet
  • Maple syrup, for serving (optional)
  • Banana slices, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, mash the very ripe banana thoroughly using a fork. Stir in the two eggs and ⅓ cup of all purpose or whole wheat flour until the mixture is combined and smooth. Optionally, add a pinch of kosher salt to enhance the flavors.
  2. Heat the skillet: Place a griddle or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Cook the pancakes: Pour the batter onto the hot skillet in ¼ cup scoops. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until the bottoms turn golden brown. Check frequently to avoid overcooking as heat levels can vary. Carefully flip the pancakes and cook for another 30 seconds to ensure they are cooked through.
  4. Serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate and serve warm. Top with maple syrup and banana slices if desired. Store any leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • Use a very ripe banana for natural sweetness and optimal flavor.
  • Do not substitute the eggs as they are crucial for binding the batter.
  • You can use either all purpose or whole wheat flour according to your preference.
  • Adjust heat as needed since cooking times may vary with different skillets or griddles.
  • Leftover pancakes keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and can be reheated on a skillet or microwave.
